you probably saw the article this morning from covered and what joe boehner said. some optimism in 2013 the way that it might play out is whether we go over or don't go over the siskel cliff there's a lot to happen in the next three months that we get to some space where if they did a trillion dollars of cuts and reforms of entitlements a trillion dollars on discretionary, naturally in on revenue and a trillion on saved interest which is only because the budget doesn't understand and doesn't value but that's okay. if you did that, you basically cut sort of a grand bargain in a way that would be i think it pretty good accomplishment for both parties. but i feel the principal thing is can you get a significant chunk of republicans in the house to support anything that has a trillion dollars of revenue. >> so you think they've reached a large and -- morgan. >> i thought that's what you're asking. >> i am somewhat pessimistic that they would be able to sort out that board in the next two months, so i'm afraid i think a serious danger they go for the fiscal cliff in the

now, i do think that speaker boehner did say that he was open to new revenue, it is an open question about how many folks in this caucus will be. there are a lot of republicans, tom coburn, the rock-ribbed conservative senator from oklahoma has also been very open about it. so i think that you are seeing some people who are very firmly on the political right who are saying that, "look, we're willing to give an inch on revenues if we can also make some reforms on the spending side." >> i think we're missing the point when we look at the political parties. we should keep our eye on what's happening to working families. and working families have been hurting since at least the 1970s. and they've been hanging on by, you know, one manner or another that is really not fundamental. the fundamental way families make money is through work and savings and buying a home and accumulating wealth. but what's been happening is that first you had wives and mothers that went into the workforce. now, ultimately this was a good thing for women to be in the workforce, but it initially started because fa

speaker boehner said he's willing to entertain more revenue. the president should take him up on that offer and they ought to come together and find some way through this. the republican party has got to take a good luook at what its future holds but a good start will be coming together to solve this problem. >> governor, nancy pelosi of course out this morning says she's going to run again for some leadership in the congress. is that a signal that the white house is going to remain more partisan perhaps than some hope? >> actually, i don't think so. you know, nancy pelosi was the one who produced the votes for the financial bailout. you all recall that. there weren't republican votes even when president bush proposed it and secretary paulson. nancy found the votes. nancy is good at finding the votes out of our progressive wing and the president will need votes from our progressive wing and nancy is a good person to do that. >> we'll see how things go down this afternoon and later in the week. governor, lanhee good to see you back. don't be a s
